Question

Anya pulled all-nighters both last night and the night before. Tonight, finally, she anticipates going to bed at her usual time. Which alternative accurately describes and identifies what Anya is likely to experience?

a. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the REM stage. This phenomenon is called restoration.
b. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the REM stage. This phenomenon is called rebound.
c. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the NREM stages. This phenomenon is called restoration.
d. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the NREM stages. This phenomenon is called rebound.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B. Anya will spend a greater proportion of her sleep time than usual in the REM stage. This phenomenon is called rebound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acronym REM is equivalent to Rapid Eye Movement, which is what happens during REM sleep. The eyes go quickly in several directions.

In a REM rebound stage that characteristic occurs after facing periods of sleep deprivation, as is the case of Anya. Here you face an increasingly longer frequency and depth of sleep.

If a person is deprived of sleep for a certain period of time, the pressure to get sleep will be higher, and when that person finally manages to sleep, the percentage of sleep will increase.
